supercharged RX8

Post by Spydie »

Sept. issue of motor trend has confirmation that RX8 owners starving for more low end torque will have the option of a small Eaton supercharger.
Also HKS is developing a turbo for the RX8 as well.
supposedly uping the RX8 to approx, 282hp and 243 ft-lbs torque.
Cool.

(got this info from Mazdatech)
